Which hotel?

[Motherfletcher]

I'm driving home through Orlando the 3rd weekend in April and want to go to Universal's last night of Mardi Gras. My hotel options are Royal Pacific at $149 (Annual Passholders rate), Radisson Barcelo at $47 (TravelZoo) or Peabody at $96 (Hotwire). I've stayed many times at RPR and the P but never at the Radisson. I'll be by myself so I'm not trying to please any family members. Where would you stay?

Here's the link to a DIS thread on the Radisson:

Basically it sounds like a good deal, but after what I'd read on tripadvisor (which I understand can be very extreme) I'm steering clear of here. So it boils down to what YOU want. My thoughts are to go for RPR since you're right on property and have FOTL.

Good luck with your decision!!!!

Since it's a short trip anyhow-- I'd just stay at the RPR.
